MariannNOVA Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 A BIG thank you:001_smile: for the comments/explanations regarding my original plan for dd 5th grade-- see below. BLUE -- still deciding and researching based on feedback. I am cobbling History for 3rd and 5th and I would like to cobble Science. RED -- Definite Change -- Will use with 3rd grade twins so I can cobble History. I am following the excellent advice from someone to 'move away' from the sequence that my dks had in ps. MATH - Saxon 6/5 SCIENCE - Real Chemistry OR RS4K Chemistry I (Feedback, experiences, pls be specific) HISTORY - Biblioplan -- Medieval Ren Ref. LATIN - Christiana? - this will be Madison's 3rd year of Latin -- Going to look at Latin Form (Mem) WORLD GEOGRAPHY - "Mapping the World" by Heartlite and "Geography through Literature" by Hollings LANGUAGE ARTS - Small Group IEW Class; "Worldly Wise 3000" LITERATURE - to include: The Door in the Wall; The Bronze Bow; Beowulf; King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; Anne of Green Gables; Island of the Blue Dolphins; BIBLE and POETRY/MEMORIZATION - Undecided - seriously considering ALL of the excellent suggestions I was given. If you are still with me, THANKS! I would love suggestions on Science - I really liked the Science Books I saw on Pandia -- I would like to do Chemistry and Life Science for all three kids. I loved the Chem kits on Pandia. Thanks -- I will not be back on-line till tonight. We are putting together a 'guest room' to accomodate the onslaught of houseguests we are having next week. Funny, no one came to visit when we lived in a HUGE house. Now that we are in a teeny, weeny, little house, EVERYONE wants to come and visit.....DH and I are sorting through approx. 75 Rubbermaid Storage Containers and putting the 'keepers' in the attic (which is also teeny weeny). ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: THAT about says it all! Have to go -- DS just dropped the measuring tape into the toilet AFTER doing his business --I can only guess WHAT he was doing! LATER!:banghead::banghead::banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I like Ellen McHenry's Elements Intro to Chemistry, as well as her organic chemistry text. Sorry to add more to your list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I like Ellen McHenry's Elements Intro to Chemistry, as well as her organic chemistry text. Sorry to add more to your list! :iagree: I was really amazed at the depth and content of the lessons. I recommended it to a friend who has a rising 4th grader. She liked the looks of it, too.
